Application process: SU Funding Opportunities (SUFO)

How to apply. Preparation is key. We encourage all current and prospective undergraduate students who intend to apply for SU funding to first gather and prepare the necessary supporting documents before starting the online application.

Applicants are strongly advised to apply well in advance of the closing date and to check their email regularly for important updates regarding the progress of their application.

For step-by-step guidance, download the PDF booklet outlining the application process and required documentation.

Bursary process: NSFAS

Payment process: Intellimali

Steps on how to receive your allowance/s. The payment of allowances is not the first step in the bursary payment process. A student will need to first accept the bursary, confirm their living arrangements, and then make sure their contact and other details are updated and correct on their SUNStudent profile.

All bursary allowances managed by SU are processed via Intellimali. Once your first payment has been loaded, you will receive a PIN from Intellimali. The pdf details important steps in the disbursement (payment) process.
